On 25 November 2015 The Associated Press reported: Three-quarters of those who become foreign fighters for the Islamic State extremist group are recruited through friends and 20 percent through family members, a terrorism expert said Tuesday. Scott Atran, co-founder of the Center for the Resolution of Intractable Conflict at Oxford University, who has interviewed captured fighters from the Islamic State and the al-Qaida linked Nusra Front, said leaders of the Islamic State group 'understand youth much better than the governments that are fighting against them.' They know how to speak to the rebelliousness and idealism of youth, he said, and they are very adept at using social media to target young people 15 to 24 years old. Their playbook includes hitting soft targets everywhere because it's impossible for nations to defend cafes, theaters, and stadiums, Atran said. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern world peace systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
